This Chinese research team identified a link between CD55 downregulation on CD4+ T cells and aberrant T cell activation. This effect will likely prove to be useful to assess prognosis of Rheumatoid arthritis and other T cell driven autoimmune disorders. “CD55 downregulation identifies a pathogenic CD4+ T cell axis linked to p38 MAPK signaling in

Swiss Researchers developed and sequenced 4 mAbs vs Birch pollen (Bet v1 antigen)and derived Fv constructs to create Chimeric Antigen Receptor cells using murine primary Treg. These were tested in vitro and in a Mouse AAI model to downregulate inflammation. “Chimeric allergen receptor regulatory T cells suppress birch pollen allergic airway inflammation”Ana Alcaraz-Serna , Yannick

Administration of iNKT-DC complexes to mice with a xenograft B cell lymphoma stimulated efficient CD8+ T cell-mediated tumor regression. “CD8+ T-cell Antitumor Immunity via Human iNKT–DC Conjugates” Dana C.

Authors review utilization of various types of humanized mice to study human immunological mechanisms. Challenges include engineering humanized populations of Neutrophils, Red Blood Cells, Hepatocytes, and resident Skin macrophages. They cite and recommend multi-omic canonical correlations of human vs humanized mouse biomarkers to assess the utility of these technologies. “Engineering Mice to Study Human Immunity”

Hyper IgM Syndrome is an immune disorder usuallycaused by an X-linked mutation in the CD40L(CD154) gene. In this study,the authors were able to discern an altered CD40L phenotypein a patient. While anti-CD40L mAbs still recognized the molecule in flow cytometry, a recombinant CD40 reagent failed to bind. Genetic analysis determined this to be caused by

IgA Nephropathy is one of the leading causes of kidney failure worldwide. It is caused by production of IgA1 antibodies lacking galactose in their o-Glycan regions, which cause them to be auto antigenic and can lead to protein aggregates. Traditional treatments have been limited to kidney care lifestyle modification and high-dose long term glucocordicosteroids. More
